Dear Susan and Nancy and all of your family, 'Heartbreaking' is the only word that comes to me... Aunt Alice was a beautiful, kind lady...and she was a wonderful Mom, as evidenced by you two beautiful, kind ladies... And what a great cook...since I was a little girl, I loved her perogies (only they weren't perogies-they were named something I can't spell-'put-a-heh' is my best phonetic rendering) Thinking of you... xo
To my great nieces and family members, it is such a shock to hear about Alice. I shall miss her dearly and will say a special prayer. Love to all Aunt Ella
Dear Sue and Nancy, our deepest condolences on your Mom. I have so many great memories of going to your parents' place when we were kids. Alice was a keeper of traditions, and it was very special to be a part of many Christmas eve dinners in years past. In fact, thanks to your Mom, i even feel a connection to the prairie Ukrainian Canadian heritage. Our thoughts will be with you from Belgium. Chris and Sara
Dear Nancy, Sorry to hear that your mother passed away. My condolences to you and your family. Remember, she will never really be gone as long as you carry her in your heart. Rosemarie
Dear Sue and Nancy, My thoughts are with you in this sad time. Grace
